Movie Review
Despicable Me
despicable_me_poster_01.jpg
By McKay J
One of the best movies of the year is Despicable Me. It’s about an evil villain who takes in some orphans in order to steal back what was rightfully his. The best characters of the movie are the little yellow alien minions. They are so funny and come up with all kinds of crazy stunts. The true villain is a complete nerd and ends up being more evil than the main character. I give this movie Four and a half stars.

The Fighter

By: Stephanie G.

This movie was based on a true story of the boxer named Mickey Ward and his brother Dickey Eklunds. Growing up in a hick town in Massachusetts, these brothers are going through difficulties. Eklunds battles with drugs, while Mickey needs training to overcome the world championship in London. The brothers are fathers themselves and struggle to keep their lives going straight. This movie is very entertaining, and shows all the rough times they both had to go through. I give this movie four stars.



Sports by. Sara S


Sports are important to the entertainment world.
My favorite sport is Basketball.
My favorite team is the Miami Heat. Yah Boy!
Honestly to all the haters of my team ya’ll just jealous!
I hate the Lakers; if Kobe Bryant retired there’d be no Lakers.
I think everyone will agree with me when I say
“Michael Jordan is the best baller ever.”



Music Review
By: Mark Ryan B

For all you Dubstep fans out there who are looking for something new and exciting, well I have something for you. Check out the artist Excision. His style of Dubstep is incredible. It is very wompy and has tons of bass. I recommend his Radio 1 mix, and his Excision Shambhala 2008 mix. He has a plethora of songs that will fit your requirements of good Dubstep. ( *5 Stars)Music Review


SKYLINE
A movie I went and saw this weekend was Skyline. It was an alright movie but, it had a boring story line. The story line was aliens coming to earth and some sort of light they looked into,it pulled them in so they could get abducted. I thought it could have had more action and a better conflict but, it was all good until the end of the movie came up. It didn’t really make sense to me.

+skyline.jpgVideo game review- Kill Zone 2
Well Kill Zone 2 has amazing graphics. You are in a town and it is being blown to shreds and It is almost the best game for PS3. I hope other people will play it and get good at it to because it is freaking awesome so play it. Kill Zone 2 is very hard but not to me because I love video games and I am good at them.

Weird News of a Profound Nature

So last Wednesday, Slim Shady bought a new house. That night, his security system went off. When security did a perimeter check that night, they found nothing. The next morning they found a deer that had tried to jump over his fence. The deer’s leg had gotten stuck when it had tried to jump over the fence and when they found it, it was dead. I think that it is a possibility that it may happen again around the area the house is.

Who is leaving?

You said you loved me but what you didn’t tell me was you had another baby on the way.
You said you would never do anything to hurt me
but now I’m sitting here with a broken heart.
You said you wanted to be with me forever
but all you wanted was to get down my pants.
You said you would never leave me
but now you’re gone and you’re never coming back.
You said you would die inside if anything happened to me
but now I’m the one dying.
By: Alica

Oh and by the way everyone I finally graduated!!! But I’m waiting here still for placement. But most likely I’m going to a proctor home somewhere in Salt Lake. :)


Book review

By Betty
beautiful_creatures.jpg
The name of the book is called Beautiful Creatures. It is about a mortal boy who falls in love with a caster girl. She thinks she is going to go dark on her sixteenth birthday. Lena doesn’t know her real name until after she is claimed on her sixteenth birthday. Lena and Ethan share the same dreams and talk to each other without being near each other.

Peace out
by Magie


It’s been a while now since you’ve been gone,
I think about you and watch the dusk turn to dawn,
I remember that day so well,
Watching over my shoulder as your body fell,
Kneeling down on the ground,
No one dares to make a sound,
My tears start falling,
It’s your name I keep calling,
Blood is dripping,
People are dipping,

Sirens are blaring,
People are staring,
I want to let go,
I don’t know why,
Do I really want to die,
The pain is to real,
Do you know how I feel
I’m so worn out
I’m beginning to doubt
I’m losing my grip
My heart's beginning to rip
I’m starting to slip

Horoscope
The horoscope for the week is for all of the Pisces.
Pisces will be happy, energetic, and anxious. You will get along with anyone and everyone you encounter this up coming week. You will also work out really hard in order to get those broad shoulders you have been working for. The Pisces will use their rational mind more than not this week. So if you are a Pisces, this week is going to be easy for sheezy. >>-----(*C_*)----->

Top 3 favorite songs

1.li’l Wayne-Crank Dat
I like Li’l Wayne’s Crank Dat video because of the kind of clothes he wears and because of the words he says. I like the beat it has to the lyrics and I think he is a real successful artist.

2.Woodie-Blackbird
I also like Woodie because he has sick tattoos and because of what they say. One of the reasons I like his music is because he has a good voice and I could listen to it all day.

3.The Game- My Life
I like that song and video because it tells a story about a kid and I like how it rhymes.

My life
eeeeee.jpg
I live a life of depression and drugs and even with abuse.
I live a life in the ghetto and gangs all around me
There was no way to run away from all my fears
I always felt trapped with no way out.
I live a life in which there was no way out
I’d always be stuck no matter how hard I tried
Run away from it
It’s always gonna be there
And there’s always gonna be pain in my life.
I had no friends on which to lean and cry my problems to.
I had no friends to give my love and hope and kindness to.
I thought about it day and night
And look up above and see the stars in the night sky.
My mind was made up
I was gonna end my life
Just when my sister hugged me
I couldn’t do it
Because she means the whole world to me
But I know I couldn’t leave her alone in this hard lifetime.
This word ran though my mind so much
I changed my mind about my life
And changed my life around
I thought about this special day
And what my sister had said.
I wasn’t trapped anymore
She saved me from doing stupid things in my life
I never thought I could do it without her being there to help me get through my life.
Hey I was only 12 year old
I never thought I would get this far
But I guess it wasn’t my time to go.
I'd always thought the whole world would be better without me
But I guess I was wrong
But now that I am 15 years old
I look back and think of all I’ve been through
And realize that it was worth living my life to the fullest
I know I’ve gone through a lot
But I never thought I would be sitting here in rehab only because of drugs
But I realize that I can have a better future than I did in the past
I’m forgetting the past and starting a new beginning……..

This is a book about a teenager who had a good life at home, had a good relationship with her mom and step father. She has an older sister that she is close to, and a younger brother. One summer she went to see her dad in New Mexico.
She hasn’t seen her dad for a long time. So it’s going to be a little awkward for her. She’s hoping to get closer with her dad again. But as she gets to Albuquerque everything’s not what she expected it to be but she’s doesn’t let that get to her. She misses her dad. So she’s giving him a chance. But everything happens wrong in a matter of three weeks. She meets her first love. Starts to get into meth and finds out her dad does it and she does meth with him.
She goes back home to her family. And she gets off of meth and starts to do better, but everything is not the same to her at home. But she managed to stay away from meth for awhile. But then she starts to get back on it and this time's a lot worse than in New Mexico. But she still goes to school and everything and manages to get things done around the house without her parents starting to know. But it’s not for long when her stepdad starts to catch on. Shortly after her mom does too.



I would recommend this book to everyone who has been through something similar, and also people who haven’t been through anything like this. It will help everyone understand what people go through on drugs.
I give this book a 5.

When you feel the breezy air
You know it’s a beautiful day for us all to share
The nice and bright warm sun brought sun light to the town
I looked around and couldn’t see anybody wearing a frown
what a beautiful day
For all the children to run and play
Just remember sqeeze lemons and make lemonade
What a great drink you have just made
Poetry is from your thoughts and your brain
So you let out the truth and the pain

ARTEC POEM
BY: ANGELICA

Clovers are green, rainbows are all colors
I’ve got some news to tell you fellers
It’s the month of St. Patty and luck
You need to wear green, if not you suck
I’m just playing its just a joke
You’ll get pinched and provoked
Have some fun and just relax
You’ll relieve some stress and that’s a fact.
It’s the time to have fun and dance
Act like a leprechaun and sing and prance
Go to the end of the rainbow and get your gold
For this month, stories will be told
There is no gold it’s just a fairy tell
Well here is my time and turn to tell my tail
